Health Inequalities - Universal Health Care PDF 353 KB
Peter Aston Universal Healthcare Strategic Lead
Minutes:
Peter Aston Universal Healthcare Strategic Lead presented. The Universal Healthcare Proposition is a twelve-month partnership initiative with the London South Bank University and the two Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) of Sussex and West Yorkshire, focusing on two places - Hastings & St Leonards and Bradford. Innovation Change Labs are an evidence-based process, designed to tackle complex problems: situations that are characterised by flux and unpredictability. Slides were showing explaining the Innovation and Change Lab process next steps. Rather than generating new data, we sought to obtain a range of existing data to uncover what is really going on in Hastings and St Leonards in terms of the 3 propositions, and to make the “willful and unwilful blind spots” visible in the system, so that we could use them to inform the next stage of system transformation / recovery programmes.
These data were taken to the first incubation and construction workshop.
Workshop 3 at the end of November will focus on agreeing and prioritizing the solutions we want to test before we move into the prototyping phase There is much work going on in Hastings which is focused on improving health and reducing health inequalities, and we need to ensure that all this work is aligned and avoiding duplication.
The group discussed the importance of listening to the community and the need to act on what the community feedback. Peter Aston explained this is the start of the lab process.
